Thursday afternoon, it was reported by Adam Schefter of ESPN that Cam Heyward sat out of practice as part of an ongoing contract dispute. However, the Steelers revealed that Heyward was given a veteran’s day off on their Thursday injury report.
The veteran defensive tackle has been seeking a new contract, but Mike Tomlin said earlier in the week that he expects Heyward to play. The rest of the injury report looks as follows:
- EDGE Nick Herbig: Limited (Hamstring, LP Wednesday)
- DT Cam Heyward: DNP (Rest)
- DT Derrick Harmon: DNP (Knee, DNP Wednesday)
The Steelers have a relatively clean bill of health through the week thus
far. They will hold one final practice before Week 1 against the New York Jets.
